Camille Granda · Surrey
Counselling for Surrey, with Camille
A city big enough to have counsellors, and still short of the ones people are actually looking for.
Camille works with clients in Surrey entirely by secure video, so nothing about the fee, the availability or the work changes with where you live. What changes is what getting to an appointment in person would have cost you — and that is the part this removes.
Surrey is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada, and the counselling here has not grown with it at the same rate. The lists are long, and the people who get seen quickest are usually the ones who can take a weekday afternoon off to do it.
It is also a city that works shifts — healthcare, the airport, warehousing, care work. A standing Tuesday at two does not survive a rotating roster, and an appointment you keep missing turns into an appointment you stop booking. Sessions by video, in the evening if that is what fits, remove the part that was breaking.
Her focus is trauma, anxiety and chronic stress, grief, loss and life transitions. Sessions run in English or Tagalog, including moving between them within one session.

Why a video session suits Surrey
- No one sees you attend — The most common reason people here choose virtual over a local clinic. No waiting room, no building, no chance encounter.
- Evening appointments — By request — useful when you live with family and daytime privacy is the harder problem.
- Continuity if you move — Registration covers all of BC, so a move to Abbotsford, Vancouver, or anywhere in the province does not end the work.
- English or Tagalog — Including moving between them inside one session, which is how most bilingual people actually think.
Sessions in English or Tagalog
Camille works in English and Tagalog, including moving between them inside one session. For a lot of people that is the difference between explaining a feeling and being understood the first time — and it does not require travelling to a bigger city to find it.
What Camille works with
Trauma
Difficult or overwhelming experiences, worked through at a pace you set — building safety and a sense of control first, rather than going straight at the hardest thing.
Anxiety and chronic stress
The patterns underneath high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism and burnout. The kind almost nobody around you can see, because you are still delivering.
Grief, loss and life transitions
Room for the changes you chose and the ones you did not — endings, identity shifts, and the uncertainty that arrives with them.
You do not need to have everything figured out before you start. Sometimes knowing that something is not working any more is enough of a reason to begin.
Questions people in Surrey ask
Will anyone in my family find out?
No. Counselling is confidential, and whether you tell anyone is entirely your decision. Because sessions are virtual there is no clinic to be seen entering. The only limits on confidentiality are risk of serious harm and a court order.
I live with family and have no private space. What do people do?
This is one of the most common practical questions here, and there are workable answers — a parked car, a session scheduled during a work break from the office, headphones and a closed door. It is worth raising on the consultation call so it can be solved before the first session rather than during it.
I am the first person in my family to consider therapy. Where do I even start?
That is the most common position people arrive in from Surrey, and there is no template because the generation before did not have one either. A free 15-minute consultation is a reasonable place to work out what you are actually looking for, with no obligation attached — and if somebody else would be a better fit, you would be told that plainly.
Can sessions be in Tagalog?
Yes — in English or Tagalog, or moving between them as the conversation needs. Most people switch without planning to, particularly when something is hard to say, and nothing about the session requires picking one and staying there.
